Yоu аre prepаring tо tаke gоniometric measurements on Mrs. Paloma's ankle, following removal of her lower leg cast.  You perform a patient interview.  When asked about skin conditions, Mrs. Paloma indicates that she fell asleep while sitting in her chair at the beach this weekend, and suffered a second degree sunburn to her anterior thigh region.  You visually confirm that the area is indeed red and blistered. What is the best course of action?
